Uh, whisky snobs always try their favorite whiskies at different dilutions.
That said, the water that is already added when bottled is usually a good place to start. If it's cask strength, you can of course try the same whisky in many different ways.
The United States Department of Health and Human Services probably has a pension plan. If I were her, I'd absolutely work another 3 years until I'm 65, and retire. It's worth it even if I'm spending 6+ hours a day commuting.
If I were 25 and in the same commute situation, I would do everything I could to get out of the situation. Sell the house, rent an apartment closer even if it means having roommates, move in with my parents, find a lower paying job closer but pays enough that I can still make my mortgage, etc.
Things are easier if you have a degree in something that is in demand. If you have the choice early in life, be an MBA, Engineer, Scientist or Medical Doctor.
AMD is doing pretty good if they are only a few months behind NVIDIA in releasing an equivalent. Although the NVIDIA Volta GPUs are supposed to be out early 2018, so if you already spent your lunch money on a 1080 you can skip the AMD stuff and pick up something faster in several months.
No, the rational choice is to lobby the government to change the laws so there are no grounds to sue or fine them in the first place.
A process that takes multiple years, and historically has taken decades. Most of these tech companies are younger than the civil rights movement, and we still haven't seen a nation where we can generally agree that everyone has equal treatment. By that definition alone I'd say the process is a very long one that is still running and is still incomplete.
You won't find too many successful corporations that depend on a business strategy that takes generations to complete. So if I were on the board of one, I'd fire you as our CEO.
I've not seen convincing and reproducible scientific proof for either argument, so I generally refuse to take sides in a debate that I usually see as bullshit vs bullshit. From a legal perspective the science and math is not all that influential anyways and can be safely ignored. What matters is how courts would rule and what changes the legislature may make in the future. It's not a scientific process, it's not even a philosophical one. (in a perfect it should be both)
More female players in WoW would mean more revenue, but that's assuming that women are better at marketing to women and girls. I doubt that is Blizzard's plan and it has more to do with getting a feather in their cap for workplace diversity, and deflecting potential lawsuits for lacking diversity. Like most things, you don't want to be the worst offender in the industry when you're a high profile target with a lot of money to lose. If I were Blizzard, I'd take the minimal effort to make my company look better for diversity than Amazon, Valve, Google, Facebook and let people go sue those companies and not mine.
Getting sued by various anti-discrimination organizations or receive fines from the government is a real cost that shareholders care about. If you want to boil this down to making money, then doing the bare minimum to comply is the right business choice, and the skill of your programmers is irrelevant to that equation.
Oh I remember turning down a job from Jawed Karim for his startup several years ago (maybe around 2005). I told him, video is inefficient, it would take way too much bandwidth to stream videos and few people would be interested in making them.
But text is practical in fewer situations. And if you do machine translation of video, you can cut out a lot of competitors who currently lack the technology to do it reliably. This is a market about differentiating yourself against your competition, not about forcing the user down the path that is easiest for you to support.
Text to speech means automatic closed captioning. A.I. and deep learning means evaluation of content to create text-based summaries and categorization topics.
But why not have both? Both automated safety systems and good pilots? One is a fallback for another, I don't really care if the autopilot is the fallback for the pilot, or the other way around.
In 2011, LOT Polish Airlines Flight 16 managed to belly flop onto the runaway without landing gears after repeated attempts were made to extend the faulty landing gears. A big part of the lack of major injuries was in the pilot's skill of handling the aircraft and adapting to the unexpected circumstances. It is likely that one day we'll have remote controlled planes or self-flying planes that can adapt to the unexpected better than a human being, but I'm very skeptical that can occur in my lifetime. Investors are way too optimistic about the capabilities of machine learning and the difference between semi-automated and full-automated systems.
By big SUV I assume you mean one with a truck suspension. I could see people not liking the wild rocking that occurs in a truck suspension. They are designed for strength and capacity and not comfort. That said I do like the ride of a truck when it has a big trailer on it, the extra mass really smooths things out.
Mine is split between a commute vehicle and light off-road travel (fire roads, sometimes washed out by seasonal streams). The truck is rather beat up, as to be expected when driven frequently in harsh conditions. Most of the maintenance for a 4x4 is new tires and alignment, and of course the parts that break or outright fall off.
I don't slow down in my pickup truck for speed bumps. I think the effectiveness of fake speed bumps depends greatly on what kind of suspension your car has and how little you give a fuck.
So if my wife leaves me because I spend all our money on gambling that we can barely get buy, we can use that as the baseline even though I made a lot of money when we were married?
PS - I know there is no real way to get around this. I'm just posing ideas for amusement purposes only.
EV's help with NOx emissions (but apparently not brakedust). this thread is not about global warming (or the conspiracy of one). It's about easily measured exhaust and small particle emissions that plague big cities.
It's much easier to implement regenerative braking on an electric drive system than on a conventional transmission. I expect to see lots of this in second and third generation vehicles looking to optimize range.
Worst thing you can do for your household's carbon footprint is have a child. So minivans should have a 1000% tax on them.

Does that also mean I get to make a game stacking Nestle candy bars without them suing me?

If you're waking up at 11:00PM, then you're probably late for work, no matter what shift you're on.
We don't need houses, we can all live in yurts and share the environment with the snipes, hoop snakes, drop bears and other creatures of the Earth.

If I destroy it first. Try ruling the planet under 10 meters of seawater!
Not if people quit buying your games.
Irrelevant to the liability equation. Do men have difficulty with language skills?
You have very narrow experiences in this world if this is how you choose to entertain yourself.

Lower the prices, then slowly raise them back up again while dropping the option for tickets on human piloted planes.
